For his Elvish languages Tolkien I think often based the structure on languages we know of. Quenya's structure is based off Latin and Finnish, Sindarin is based off Welsh (but not Gaelic). Some detect an Italian sound in Telerin.
Since in Tolkien's persona as historian he has translated all the Westron stuff in the Thain's Copy of the Red Book into English, all languages related to Westron have been represented by languages related to English. Thus the Rohirrim's names are in Old English, and Northmen like the Bardings have Old Norse names (as do the Dwarves). The tales talking about the ancient ancestors of the Rohirrim use Gothic for their names.
